Seems like this season was kind of lean in regards to the amount of 50 pounders caught from the surf! (At least those reported!)

I can only recall a few caught this season.....Bob Motta got his in the spring, the Tony twins got a couple I heard whispers about late in the season......but it seems that over all....just not many over 50 taken?
Any thoughts, comments or commentary?
I am not focusing on just Mass.....but I don't think many were taken from the suds anywhere along the coast...I might be wrong but lets hash this out for fun!
